In January 2000, Mormon president Gordon B. Hinckley and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles published this testimony of Jesus Christ for all the world in commemoration of 2000 years since the birth of Jesus. It has been published in dozens of languages and given to heads of state throughout the world to testify of the reality and mission of Jesus Christ and of the mission of the Mormon Church, or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, to share this testimony with all the world.
